“Oog” - Original Art by: John Miles-Olson
The Painter Named Oog:
Me is Oog.
Oog paint line with crushed berry.
Make big bison
Maybe too big.
Oog step back.
Cavemates all cheer.
Oog great artist.
Oog has career.
Oog paint all day.
Oog draw friend Grug.
Friend Grug mad.
Says Oog draw nose too big.
But nose really that big.
Oog just honest artist.
Bright Orb:
Me see boy
Boy named Oog
Boy cave paint with berry
Cave paint not me.
I howl at big bright orb in night sky.
It say nothing back.
Tiger eats Oog next day.
Bright orb answered.
The Inventor:
Me make circle rock.
Circle rock no roll.
Me kick circle rock.
Ow.
Circle rock still no roll.
Me realize…
Me made square.
Me not good at shapes.
